On Tuesday, October 10th at Staples High School the Boys Varsity Soccer team took down Westport 1-0, getting their first win of the season. It was a hard fought battle throughout, with strong defense and goalkeeping on both sides. In the last few minutes of regulation, though, junior Cole Branca scored a clutch goal and sent the Wave off with a win. Senior goalie David Volz played exceptionally well, making big time saves throughout the afternoon. Volz talked about how big of a win it was for the team and how it will affect them going forward, he said; "Getting that win was huge. It felt like we had just won a championship with how excited everyone was. It will definitely be a huge momentum boost for us for the rest of the season".
Credit also goes to Head Coach Jon Bradley who, according to Volz, gave the boys some extra motivation before the game, Volz said; "Coach said he would get us all McDonald's if we won. I guess you could say that motivated us even more to fight as hard as we could, and yes we did have McDonald's after the game".
Hopefully the Wave can keep this energy going into a huge game against rival New Canaan on Thursday, October 12th at 4 pm at the DHS Oval Turf.
